Gotta say I think Andrew is wrong here. Simple fact is that the defenders arm is making his body unnaturally large and the ball hits his arm, and there is no real reason for his arm to be out that wide, h's not in the process of bringing his arm down, it goes up from his side towards the ball and continues up once the ball makes contact. Under the law that is a handball all day. Intent has nothing to do with it. The question that needs to be answered is why is his arm there, he's not coming down from a jump, he's not moving much, just skipping into the box waving his arms about.
